The Original Duffman

 The ALLi youtube channel has been airing a pretty interesting series about the history of Plan B the last few weeks. The newest installment which went up today is definitely the sickest so far and an essential must view for any skater out there. It's a historical look at Pat Duffy and his legacy in the Plan B videos. The episode has tons of old footage of Pat and interviews with pros past and present regarding Pat's influence on skating and interviews with Pat himself. Both Questionable and Virtual Reality were before my time but even without having that foundation, I knew as a kid as soon as I saw Duffy, that he was fucking gnarly. He had a few tricks in the 98 Think video "Dedication" that were super sick (especially the back tail at the China banks)and by the time his Subtleties part came out I knew a bit of the history of Duffy and I was a full blown fan. The guy has consistently been amazing throughout his entire career and never puts out anything to shake your head at. Pat Duffy is the real deal and anyone who has ever skated a rail owes him a definite tip of the hat!
